You must make sure you upload the correct supporting documents with your online application form. We are unable to process applications that are missing supporting documents, so please read the following information carefully.

Submitting your documents

All documents must be sent electronically. They should be combined into one file and submitted as a PDF, with the title as your full name. Please combine the documents relevant to you in the order listed below.

1. Transcript of records (all students)All students should submit an original transcript in English, or an English translation signed and stamped by your home university. We are not able to accept transcripts unless they have been stamped and signed by your home university.

2. Description of the grading system at your home university (all students)This will help our academic staff to understand your transcript. If we do not receive this, you could be rejected for a module that you are qualified for.

3. English language certificate (TOEFL/ IELTS) Please see our language requirements page to find out whether you need to submit proof of your level of English, and ensure you only submit a certificate that meets our requirements. If you are required to submit evidence of your English language level, we will not be able to process your application without the TOEFL/ IELTS certificate. If you have taken TOEFL you can upload a screenshot of your results rather than a certificate.

4. Copy of the information page in your passport or ID card (all students)We require a copy of the information page of your passport, or if you are a European student we will accept a copy of your identity card. We will use this information to ensure you receive the correct advice regarding UK immigration.

If you are going to renew your passport before travelling to the UK you should not submit a copy with your application, but should submit a copy of the new passport by email as soon as you receive it.

If possible please add a note to your application file to explain that you are renewing your passport including the nationality of the passport that you will be travelling on and when you expect to receive it. This is so we do not delay the processing of your application.
